out of international attention what's also important as the investigator agnes camargue made clear that the turkish investigators never had full access to the information and that she herself has been blocked by saudi arabia so although it's helpful that she's drawing this conclusion what i think is particularly useful is that she's making clear that people have not been forthcoming and need to be what about the determination the report to required by the magnitsky act the president is supposed to provide to the. what are you hoping to see in that. well quite frankly i would be surprised if we see anything it would not surprise me if the trumpet ministration chooses not to respond but i think that regardless of what this statement may or may not be we'll see a strong reaction from congress we've already seen senators come out saying they expect there to be some kind of real accountability on saudi officials so if trump concludes that m.b.'s was not involved i think there will be a real demand for the evidence if he concludes that he wasn't authorized the sanctions obviously i think

a lot of people would be pleased to see that but i think this is the beginning of a longer conversation in washington and in terms of saudi arabia i mean do you think any of this pressure that's been building over the affair is leading to signs that human rights are being taken seriously in saudi arabia. i wish that we saw that instead we've seen the detention and allegations of torture of women's rights activists we've really seen no effort by m.b.a.'s to try to respond to international concerns about human rights abuses in saudi arabia and i think in part that's because the u.s. has really remained consistent ally and partner of saudi arabia but i hope that this preliminary investigation by the u.n. and what we see in the coming weeks will help shift that conversation andrea prosser from him thank you very much indeed for your time. rescuers in turkey is searching for survivors after a building collapsed in istanbul certain people have so far been rescued from under the rubble the apartment block came down without warning on wednesday evening at

people it created grievances and it certainly cut off any kind of cooperation with the security forces in counterinsurgency efforts all of those i think would have aided boko haram more than what is going on here and the relationship is not ended it's just basically been suspended certain parts of it so it's i think an or an opportunity for cameroon and for the other countries in the alliance to sort of revisit their obligations to comply with human rights. egyptian opposition parties are joining forces to stop efforts to keep the president up to such a c.c. in power pro-government m.p.'s a proposed constitution constitutional amendments that could extend his rule beyond the end of his term in twenty twenty to show how by spain's. its supporters say it's a crucial step to ensure stability opponents fear their country is moving to a talk or see egypt seems divided over

of the top stories. an international group of european and latin american nations is calling for a free and fair elections in venezuela after meeting in europe why. you know his state says send food in trucks to colombia's border with venezuela but someplace how the aid to enter without the support of the military are still backs president maduro. in venezuela inflation is expected to hit ten million percent this year and there's a dire need for food and medicine there is a bow has more from ne in venezuela. we're here at this hospital in the city of a salon in this state and so i think it is about four hours away from the capitol

got i guess there's all of this long lines of people with children waiting to be treated the reason why is because most of them are suffering from body bob meaning and diarrhea the main course we're being told is that a pipeline broken contaminated the drinking water you can see the amount of children that are just waiting here for them to get treatment when you were able to go inside the hospital and there are at least three children in each one of those bets that doctors are telling us that they simply do not have syringes by all takes and many of the other things they need in order to be able to treat them so far fourteen children have already died here because of this issue two of them died last night all of this is happening as president. appeared on state television. saying that venezuela is getting ready to fulfill its own need well a pharmaceutical among other things is also saying that we won't allow humanitarian

aid into the country the request by the united nations and n.g.o.s is that both sides the government and the opposition not politicize the current situation the humanitarian crisis that exists here and that their main objectives should be to help those who are in the international contact group meeting year ago has offered president nicolas maduro a plan called they want a video mechanism aimed at creating conditions for free transparent and credible elections within ninety days let's get more on this from a political analyst dmitri spend to us who's in caracas so what do you make of these attempts. to to come up with a kind of mechanism towards elections. with evening from. the mechanism for free fair and elections. two steps one is to say it's all based it usually and the opposition could say and situation but to impress their mother. like their legs were bored and the import and then to organize the prayer let free and fair

elections but because of the electoral system administrator would stop some of the out of market size you need at least four to six months and a quarter and the last one up surveys show it's the same six months or so having a credible international federation so i think it's a very obese you say but in fremont americans have a mechanism but can make an exception when israel but in the symbolic and the more practical to which we can say but the basic clear message towards president mahmoud that we european union and the other country betty don't they see as the best solution to the problem the korean with their elections but it's in highly unlikely but you can have them in three months or such of the time you think the time is gaza problem how does any of this fit with with the kind of support for. that the u.s. has given say family and other european countries how does this fit with with allowing moderate to be part of the process towards another election. most ministre last

night out there pushing to be optional usa which is more bold which is more that it's more immediate. which promotes the core luxury and good as margaret see him and the combat a new era for venezuela which were not to include them. in his government it is more bored but people we are fed up with old wishes to action what we call the political and the on the crisis what we are living at least by the years now so many people bear this spirit and be prepared something very sudden something very weak instead of waiting negotiations and dialogue but has happened in the past and the only. benefit it is that. the military appears to be a key to mature survival how why do you think they states are loyal to him so far in any is there any chance that they will flip at any point. contrary to what the president satisfied that i was given extremely power and privilege to many

generals in order to be adamant that i would be out of the controlled almost cult of the economy so and behaved participated. in it caught up with country in corruption schemes etc so i think there are their connection with their model government is not only also loyalty institutional loyalty but also because they have participated in big governance of the country. so who ships in the last days but some a generous. saving sides and also about to be human and aid but will come and become good to morrow but can sayings or invest you. can't since or for being pressure of the ministry a lot how about about the army it's a bit weird to say if the army still supports one hundred percent the person who are or not and tell me about sections of one is this new travel ban by the us or members of the constituent assembly how much difference will that make and also

give us an idea of the existing sanctions on the oil industry didn't they've been effective be oil the oil sanctions we had a very recent but who have seen by exports to the us have gone down the about thirty percent that it is all almost all big money but gets been a good of government for a male export because of the other superman but they made eighty second to last out of china but it's because of fairy payment of a debt shook out of carbon c n n short more sort that it's let's say in venezuela or a. dire consequences in the light of all the citizens because i think it's very early in cup and two weeks ago. also about the travel ban most police. cars get your nuts and of course you can see assembly out of there are horribly out of six hundred members if i remember well i don't think but they will make their minds. better

mind about the model because of the bank of a us i think it's that they are sick measures and also to make us to be present a daily who are making more sanctions and buying. government the members dimitris pensioners thank you very much indeed for your analysis appreciate your time right nancy. six refugee families stranded on a british military base in cyprus for more than twenty years have won a legal battle to settle in the u.k. he is the u.k. government denied being responsible for them arguing the refugee convention was never extended to british bases in december last year they granted then the right to reside in britain they would try to has a story. it was more than twenty years ago when a smuggler's fishing boat founded in these waters with more than seventy refugees on board the waves were driving them towards cliffs below a british military base in cyprus helicopters were scrambled to lift them out.

corridors of power the revolutionary guard was founded to protect the islamic revolution. forty years later it is not just a more than one hundred thousand strong land sea and air force this commander acknowledges a role in politics and the economy but says it is not driven by interests. that those who joined the revolutionary guards did so to provide security they should be politically better but that doesn't mean they should join any party they are also involved in the economy not to make profit in times of peace they should help the poor who are facing tough conditions. others see their role differently they say the guards empowered by the supreme leader have interfered in iranian politics the besiege voluntary unit was used to crush protests in two thousand and nine former guards have entered political life fielding candidates in elections as

well as occupying top positions like the presidency guard commanders have also spoken out against president hassan rouhani for negotiating the two thousand and fifty nuclear deal with world powers including the united states the guards is also an economic player it was heavily involved in reconstruction at the end of the war with iraq decades ago now it runs construction companies and other businesses the revolutionary guards is not just a powerful institution in iran it exported the revolution and expanded iran's influence beyond its borders states mainly armed actors in lebanon syria iraq and gaza received arms and training it was one of the reasons why the us doesn't need the guards a terrorist organization. could say force is the branch that operates abroad it's commander us i'm still a many as portrayed as a national hero here his forces helped ensure syrian president bashar assad

survival and hezbollah's dominance in lebanon's parliament has given iran's influence through legitimate channels. it's no longer a secret that has creation and liberty on was on that of the auspices and support of the revolutionary guard training camps were established in syria and then lebanon hezbollah was one of their greatest accomplishment back home the guards often display their military might it oversees the controversial ballistic missile weapons program which the west wants curbed iran's position has been one of defiance a position echoed by guard commanders who have made their political stance clear there will be no negotiations they say in a message that could be directed not just to their enemies abroad. or to her on the french government still controls the treasuries of fourteen of its former colonies in west africa many in senegal are opposed to it and say it's

a colonial legacy that must go the c.f.a. which is the common currency in the region has now become a key issue head of sables presidential elections this month because haq reports. just enough until next month. i would john is calling her younger brother and jack to thank him for the money he sent he's down in france having left his life in the car for a better one in europe he tells her it's not what he expected but he's still able to send a few hundred years every month to his sister to look after the family. it's not easy but without him we couldn't make ends meet there's no work for him here we need him there he's doing this for the money. in january italy's deputy prime minister luigi accused france of fueling the migrant crisis by controlling the economies of former african colonies through the local currency the c.f.a. . france is one of those countries that by printing money for fourteen african

states prevents the economic development and contributes to the fact that the refugees leave and then die in the sea or arrive on our coasts i didn't like the comment from the foreign minister i found it very patronizing africa the need any foreign minister want to speak on our behalf i the comment came days before the start of the presidential campaign in senegal and this year fay is now part of the debate with each candidate taking positions on the matter so much arguing for it others against it like it who asks why should white people in paris take decisions on their currency. the central african franc or the c.f.a. has a fixed exchange rate with the euro so europeans can bring euro's to africa and easily swap them for the c.f.a. but state regulators make it difficult for africans to take out of their country and swap them into euro.
